Are the style guidelines the same as the bjcp guidelines? I check out the vicbrew site and it only gave description.

No - they are the current Australian ones and Beerfest has crunched a few categories together.

The guidelines should have aroma, flavour, appearance etc. You won't find numbers in there like the vital stats in BJCP guidelines.

For people posting Beerfest entries I would suggest sending them to
Brewers Den
253 Dorset Rd Boronia 3155 Vic
This is the Melbourne Brewers "local" HBS

cheers

 

[Tony]

just packed up my entries for beerfest

1 x schwarzbier
1 x belgian tripple
1 x Scottish ale
1 x APA (Amarillo free)

did someone say prize money

PS. Will a bit of consideration be made for Australia post affected beers ?

 

[Tony]

did anyone else send in some beers?

am i the ony one?

 

[Jye]

I was going to send in a APA but it turned out crap Still might send off an Amber Ale even thou it doesnt quite fit the style.

 

[Ross]

Tony,

i might pour a couple off tap on Monday morning & send them - depends what kegs I have left after tonight though - approx 20 of us hitting them hard

cheers Ross...

 

[Tony]

thats only 2 people per tap ross..................


there should be plenty left

are you sending a schwarzbier???

Jye

My APA is nothing to write home about......... it doesnt have and amarillo in it and is half cascade.

I call it the "cluster bomb"

Will be interesting to see how it goes against the cascade/amarillo monsters.
Im not holding my breath though :unsure:

I might have to get some amarillo and see how i go in the NSW states

cheers

 

[sosman]

Get those entries in people. Entries close soon.

 

[Ross]

BUGGER!

Had saved some of my banana beer as I wanted an appraisal of it - went to bottle it & it's lost nearly all it's banana flavour & aroma :angry: . Looks like this beer is best consumed by the 2 month mark....

Oh well....

 

[Tony]

I sent them to the brewers den

cheers
